[PATCH] D59553: [LLD][ELF][DebugInfo] llvm-symbolizer shows incorrect source line info if --gc-sections used

Mon Apr 8 23:34:29 PDT 2019

ruiu added inline comments.

================
Comment at: lld/ELF/InputSection.cpp:840
+      // UINT64_MAX has special usage in .debug_ranges.
+      // https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41124
+      Target->relocateOne(BufLoc, Type, 0xfffffffffffffffeULL);
----------------
Where in this document can I find a description why UINT64_MAX is special? Is using UINT64_MAX-1 as an "invalid value" just a local convention of lld (i.e. are you inventing a new notion) or a common practice? Is there any more common value representing an invalid address than UINT64_MAX-1?
